Min equity level when using signals

New comment
 

On the signals tab in MT4, one can specify the equity level to close all trades as part of money management by using the option "Stop if equity level is less than   --------". 

The MT4 user guide states: 

  • Stop if equity is less than [B] — this parameter allows you to limit losses when using trading signals. If equity drops below a specified level, copying of trade signals will be automatically terminated, all positions will be closed and all pending orders will be removed. 0 means no limitations.


However, my signal was turned off yet my trades closed yesterday when that level was reached. Surely this should not occur.  I was using a VPS and the "signal off" was synchonised with the VPS - have checked the journal to confirm that. Can anyone shed any light on this?
